I'm not sure if this information has been posted before (my apologies if is has): Those of you interested in the ancestry of Massie Johnston (who married Joseph Crew in VA) should check out the following web sites: http://sml.simplenet.com/smlawson/massie.htm http://sml.simplenet.com/smlawson/ashley.htm These sites sketch out the probable link of Massie Johnston back to Lord Anthony Ashley Cooper, First Earl of Shaftsbury. Shaftsbury was a Lord Proprietor of the Colonies, a confidant of King Charles II, and a close friend of the political philosopher John Locke. The Ashley and Cooper rivers of Charlestown bear his name. Additional information on this family can be found in the books: "Massey Families in America" and "My Massie family in England" by Frank A. Massey. These books can be ordered on microfiche through your local LDS Family History Center . Hope this information helps!
